        # LCIA formatter

The LCIA formatter, or `lciafmt`, is a Python tool for standardizing the format and flows of life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) data. The tool acquires LCIA data transparently from its original 

source, cleans the data, shapes them into a standard format using the [LCIAmethod format](./format%20specs/LCIAmethod.md), and optionally applies flow mappings as defined in the [Federal LCA Commons Elementary Flow List](https://github.com/USEPA/Federal-LCA-Commons-Elementary-Flow-List). The result can be exported to all formats supported by the

`pandas` package (e.g. Excel, CSV) or the [openLCA JSON-LD format](https://github.com/GreenDelta/olca-schema). 

The LCIA Formatter v1 was peer-reviewed internally at USEPA and externally through the Journal of Open Source software. An [article describing the LCIA Formatter was published by JOSS](https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.03392).

\* only works on Windows installations

## Installation Instructions

`lciafmt` requires Python 3.9 or greater.

Install a release directly from github using pip. From a command line interface, run:

> pip install git+https://github.com/USEPA/[email protected]#egg=lciafmt

where you can replace 'v1.1.0' with the version you wish to use under [Releases](https://github.com/USEPA/LCIAformatter/releases).

Alternatively, to install from the most current point on the repository:

```

git clone https://github.com/USEPA/LCIAformatter.git

cd LCIAformatter

pip install . # or pip install -e . for devs

```

The current version contains an optional dependency on the `pyodbc` library to generate the Impact World+ LCIA method.

Due to limitations in reading Access databases from non-Windows platforms, this will only be install on Windows machines.

 

This needs to be specified in the pip install command. It can be done in one of two ways:

```

pip install .["ImpactWorld"]

```

or

```

pip install . -r requirements.txt -r impactworld_requirements.txt 

```

See the [Wiki](https://github.com/USEPA/LCIAformatter/wiki/) for further installation and [use instructions](https://github.com/USEPA/LCIAformatter/wiki/Using-lciafmt) or for information on how to seek [support](https://github.com/USEPA/LCIAformatter/wiki/Support).
